Being a good leader means keeping your team motivated. This can be modified for any business....mine just happens to be candles .

Do you have parties booked? Any tables you're going to have a display set up? How many scent sample packets do you have ready to hand out or mail to people? Have you talked to anyone about the business opportunity and let it slip by the wayside because of the holidays?

Well just because the holidays are over doesn't mean candle season's over. It's candle season year-round. Keep those scent sample packs on hand to give to everyone you come in contact with. The lady at the gas station, the guy at the drive thru, your insurance agent, doctor, lawyer, day care, kids' teachers, etc. You never know where the next new customer or new business partner might be and you will never know until you ask.

Also become a walking advertisement. Get an item with your Company name on it, a tshirt, hoodie, lanyard, car sign, yard sign...get it out there that you are open for business. Despite what some might think, people do not go door to door asking if you sell candles and if so would you sell them some. Some people are waiting for a new opportunity for a new year and you have that opportunity to put in their hands. So what are you waiting for?
